Thanks !!

Are you rooted?
If yes, which method was used?
Yes Allaince will work
If you flash it, it's not going to wipe data YOU are. since you ALWAYS have to wipe data/cache before flashing a custom ROM.

You wanna flash aliance ROM over JB or dual boot?
To flash any custom ROM, yeah, you need to wipe data.
But you really need to do some reading before you attempt any ot his.

If you have a Custom recovery, You can flash any CWM package..
Before flashing, you need to wipe data/factory reset, cache partion and dalvik cache to be wiped.
I can easily switch roms between ICS and GB no problem...
Sorry, bad topic

[Q] Galaxy S3 Stock Rom

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there is somehwere I can download the Official rom from.
I installed cyanogen mod 9 on my S3 using clockwork recovery mod and it wiped my backup.
I have tried sammobile but the problem is I need it for version: I9300XXLH1. I am located in Australia.
While on the topic, I have a friend who is using a S3. Could I possibly install CWM and copy a backup off his phone?
Please help, I miss all my features haha.
The official stock rom does not exist .
Many official roms .
CHECKFUS is probably your best method .
Could I possibly install CWM and copy a backup off his phone?
Probably .

Why don't you just flash the JB rom with Odin that was released yesterday.
After that, go into stock recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset and you're good to go.

Updating/switching roms (CM)

Hi, I have updated and rooted my phone a while ago so I have forgotten a few things... I have CyanogenMod 9.1.0 and android version is 4.0.4... And now I came here and saw that there is android 4.2 and CM 10.1.... But I didn't found any information for updating between those two, there is only for coming from stock firmware. Can I just download 10.1 and install it from Clockwork mod or should I first update to 4.2 and how to do it?
Wipe data/factory reset after flashing the kernel for the new version and install the rom in cwm. All your data will be lost, but your phone should boot
Btw please ask questions in the Q&A forum

Sorry for the wrong forum...
And tnx for the reply... So no need to update to 4.2 manually, just kernel for rom and then rom?? Will it be like that for any onther custom rom?

Yes it's the same for all custom roms. Flash the kernel, boot in cwm and do the wipes, then flash the rom
Btw you could read my guide on how to install a custom rom/kernel to get more information. The link is in the "Roll up sticky thread" in the stickies in general forum :good:

this is the manual way (automatic is SEUS ).. but to ur question yes, it so:
before installing rom, check which kernel needed for this (or if its inside zip, to flash BEFORE install; via fastboot..)
if u switch between stock ics & cm builds OR between cm9 and cm10(.1) FULL WIPE IS recommended!!
if u do only a upgrade like install newest version of smae rom on ur phone u can WIPE NOTHING! (only if u get problem )
yes 1st kernel (recovery (CWM) built in) then ROM ; maybe some addons/gapps (google apps), dun
peace

[Q] Upgrading Enigma ROM 4.4 to 5

Hi,
I've got a noob question , i hope someone would be able to help me.
I installed Enigma ROM 4.4 On my XP and now i want to upgrade it to v5.
in 4.x ROMs i only had to reflash the new version over the previous one, i don't know about this one, since it's a major update (v4 to v5),
do i have to reflash the stock ROM and then flashing the custom OR can i just reset everything and reflash the 5 version over this 4.4 .
and if i do this, does it have disadvantages? ( Lags. Slow ROM and etc. )
Thanks in advance,

Just reflash the v5 and wipe only dalvik-cache and cache. If that's not OK, then reflash stock firmware.

Are you trying to install 4.2+ rom? if yes you need to:
wipe/date
wipe/cache
wipe/dalvik cache
go to mounts and storage if you have CWM or wipe advanced wipe if in TWRP
format/system in CWM
Check system in advanced wipe in TWRP
flash the rom
reboot
If you are trying to install 4.1.2 you need to:
wipe/date
wipe/cache
wipe/dalvik cache
flash the rom
reboot
